Boiler Data File Type

A boiler file is a special file type designed specifically for boiler applications. A
common method for identifying a thickness measurement location is using the
following three dimensional approach:
Elevation
The first dimension refers to the physical distance from the bottom of the boiler
toward the top.
Tube number
The second dimension refers to the number of the specific boiler tube to be
inspected.
Custom points
The third dimension refers to the actual thickness reading location at the specified
elevation on the specified tube.
The three dimensions are combined in a single ID number to precisely identify the
exact location of each thickness reading. Table 17 on page 179 shows an example
where you chose to increment the custom points first, the tube number second, and
the elevation third.
